Chapter 7
“I know you suspect my purpose, I’ve also mentioned that I can write a guaranty letter. You could even
ask thewyer and cameraman to follow us all the time when we divorce to prove that it’s me who
propose the divorce, and I’ll not ckmail a single penny from you.” rence pursed his lips and did
not speak a word.
“Or are you scared that I’ll use the divorce to defame you and the Conrad family in front of the press?
You don’t have to worry for that too. I promise, if I, Ste Ramodil, want to get any benefit from our
divorce, I’ll be doomed.” rence only said after a while, “Do you think I’ll believe you when you say
like that?”
Ste looked like a deted balloon at once. “Then what on earth do you want me to do? Could you
possibly want to maintain your identity as a husband while having a mistress outside the house?
rence Conrad, I’ll rather die than raising other’s kids.”
rence nced at her and sneered. Even though he did not say anything, Ste could still get what
he meant. He was only teasing her for using the same trick as Vivian. How would she have the right to
use others? As Ste still wanted to defend for herself for onest bit, she heard rence’s cold
voice. “I have to go for a business trip tomorrow, we’ll talk after Ie back.”
Ste let out a smile at once. “It’s okay, I’ll wait for you no matter how long. Do notify me once you
return.” Seeing her changing her attitude drastically, the contempt in rence’s eyes surged. He turned
around and went upstairs. What a foolish and cheeky woman.
The one week deadline soon arrived. Ste gave Stanford the design draft and he gave her the reply
straight away that night. Her design was approved by the boss and she was asked to sign the contract
the next day. Ste finally heaved a sigh of relief after seeing that reply. She was really quite scared
that they would not be satisfied of her design.
SG Jewelry had been promoting the project’s progress in the first ce and the first series to be
introduced had long been decided. It was just that they needed one designer. Now that they had hired
Ste, they certainly hoped the progress could be made as quick as possible. Coincidentally, there was
one month left until the magazine’s anniversary celebration. The office nned to take the opportunity
of the celebration to organize a press conference and officially dere the introduction of their jewelry
brand to the press.
Besides the ne Ste designed this time, the remaining two jewelries mainly promoted were the
bracelet and the ring. After designing the draft and the draft was approved by the magazine office, she
had to fix the ws before the product was made. One month time was actually short, or maybe too
short.
In order to not ruin the press conference this time, Ste did not dare to ck off. Besides staying at
home drawing every day, she even had to choose the material for the jewelries. She had to make the
final product based on her design and after the press conference ended, she would hand it to the
agency shop to be further processed and sold.
She was so busy that she had forgotten the divorce she promised rence, and she had no idea when
had he returned from the business trip. Nevertheless, he had not contacted her ever since.
As Ste just put down her pencil and was going to rest for a while, her phone which was ced on the
table vibrated. She turned around and the call was from Jeffrey. She frowned and only picked up the
call when her phone rang for the second time.
“Ste, your brother is going to sit for the national college entrance examination next year. The teacher
says he needs to go to tuition ss. I’mck of money, please give me.”
“How much is it?”
“Let me count…Tuition fee is kind of expensive. Please give me 200 thousand Yuan first. I’ll save the
rest as his tuition fee for next semester.”
Ste replied calmly, “Firstly, it’s this year Channing sits for the exam. Secondly, he’s top in the whole
province, and he doesn’t need extra tuition. Thirdly, I’ve never heard that any tuition ss needs to
charge 100 or 200 thousand Yuan for tuition fee.”
Jeffrey was slightly annoyed when his lies were exposed. “Stop giving me so many excuses, just give
me the money.”
“I don’t have any money.”
“If you don’t, ask from your husband! He’s so rich, 200 thousand Yuan should be nothing to him.”
“No one earns money without paying effort, his money is none of my business. Plus, I’ve already
divorced him, so I don’t have any reason to ask money from him either.”
“What!” Jeffrey bawled at the other end of the call. “Who permitted you to divorce? Did I? Even if you’re
divorced, he should give half of the family property to you, how could you possibly not have any
money? Ste Ramodil, you’re getting rebellious, do you not want to support your father anymore?
Give me 2 million Yuan this instant, or else I won’t be done with you!”
Ste replied, “No, I don’t get a single penny.” After finished, she straight away hung up the call. Not
long after that, Channing called her. “Did Jeffrey call you and ask for money again? No matter what he
said, don’t give him. He’s gambled again recently and has owed a few hundred thousand Yuan. He’s
now hiding.”
“I know, I didn’t give him.” When Ste had paid off his debt worth one million Yuan, she had said that if
he gambled again, his life would no longer be her concern, and she warned him not to look for her. Yet
how would Jeffrey change that easily? He had used different tricks to ask her for money all these
years, either lying that he had broken a leg and needed money for surgery, or saying Channing had
fought with someone and they wanted to make matter worse by involving the school authority.

He knew even she refused to care for him, she would never not care for her younger brother. Ste and
Channing had been tricked by him twice in the beginning, but after that, they were not surprised by his
trick anymore and had even gone numb with it. Ste asked him, “Have you figured out which
university to apply to?”
“Yeah.”
Ste paused and spoke, “Chan, do you want to go abroad? I still have some money, and there should
be no problem sending you abroad, plus you’re able to get schrships…” She wanted to send
Channing away, far away from Jeffrey. She did not want him to be trapped in the bog like her. Channing
interrupted her. “No thanks, I’ll stay here. I won’t go anywhere.” Ste secretly sighed and she knew his
temper. “I’ll leave you to decide for yourself, tell me if you need any money.”
“Keep the money to yourself, I can earn it if I need it.” He then asked, “Did he treat you good recently?”
Having mentioned rence, Ste was slightly speechless. She then smiled and spoke, “Yeah, it’s
quite good. Chan, I’m going to divorce him.”
Channing only fell silent for two seconds, as if he was not surprised to hear that, he spoke, “That’s not
a bad thing though, you can count on me in the future.” Ste smiled. “I’m able-bodied, I can take care
of myself. Just focus on your studies okay.”
After hanging up, Ste walked out of the bedroom. She saw Sherry curling up on the couch and she
looked lethargic. Her face was slightly pale. She then asked, “What’s wrong, Sherry? Are you unwell?”
Sherry shook her head and she sounded weak. “I’m on period, I’ll be okay after resting for a while.”
Ste poured a ss of hot water for her. “You can’t be like this. I’ll buy some ginger and brown sugar
soup, and heat pack downstairs for you. Do you have anything more that you would like to eat?” Sherry
became energetic once again when she heard that. After cing meal orders passionately, she fell
back to the couch. “Ste, you’re the best, that bastard is foolish for not loving you.”
